Experience nature first hand and get creative this October!
Photography in Nature: Creative and Abstract Nature: 17 October 2024
Come and join this amazing creative and artistic workshop looking at nature photography as art! Embracing the shifting seasons, experiment with camera settings and techniques to create varying levels of sharpness and blur. Starting with camera exposure – but with a difference; in this workshop we contrast classic sharp focus photography with intentional camera movement (ICM) to create a creative, painterly effect. Delving into the mysteries of slow shutter speeds, we overlay the interplay of light and shadow, then look at the role of viewpoint and composition to create a striking abstract image.
Time: From 10.15 am to 4.15 pm (Duration 6 hrs)
Price: £65 per person, including admission to the Centre. Booking Essential
This course is ideal for all levels of photography!
